우리나라 전국의 사찰수는 약 22,000개로 추정되며, e-나라지표에 의하면 사찰 역사가 오래되거나 전통 양식의 건축물과 문화재 등을 간직한 사찰로 문화체육관광부가 지정하는 전통사찰은 2010년 3월말 현재 전체의 4.2%인 935개로 알려져 있다. 대도시에 위치한 사찰을 제외하면 일반적으로 사찰은 계곡에 위치하여 인근에 하천이 있으며, 유역이 작아 유량은 적으나 경사가 심해 낙차를 크게 얻을 수 있다. 또한 설계제원이 비슷한 전통사찰들을 그룹핑하고 소수력발전시스템을 Kit형태로 표준화하여 개발한다면 초기투자비를 저감할 수 있는 장점도 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전통사찰에 소수력발전의 적용가능성을 타진하기 위하여 유역면적이 $49.71km^2$인 사찰 1지점을 선정하여 인근의 하천을 이용한 소수력발전 성능특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 단위 유효낙차당 설비용량은 약 9.3kW, 연간전기생산량은 약 28,602kWh로 산정되었으며, 낙차가 커질수록 설비규모와 연간전기생산량은 비례하여 증가될 것으로 추정된다. 부존자원이 부족하여 에너지해외의존도가 97%가 넘는 현실을 감안할때 전통사찰에 대한 타당성 조사를 통해 소수력발전을 적용함으로서 사찰에서 사용되는 전기에너지의 절약과 친환경 재생에너지의 활용을 확대해 나가는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.

바이오매스 가스화는 세계적인 증가 추세에 있는 에너지 수요를 충족할 수 있는 기술 중의 하나이다. 바이오매스 가스화를 통해서 농업 폐기물 등 다양한 바이오매스 자원을 에너지로 전환할 수 있고 $CO_2$ 배출량 또한 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 COMSOL$^{(R)}$ 3.4 소프트웨어를 이용하여 바이오매스 원료와 운전 조건에 따른 가스화 효율 및 합성가스 조성의 변화를 분석하였다. 원료와 구동조건을 최적화하기 위해 가스화 모델을 세우고 원료와 구동조건을 달리하여 합성가스의 성분을 분석 및 예측하였다. 이 모델은 물리적인 실험을 통해 알고 있는 조건을 통해서 합성가스 성분을 시간에 따라 예측할 수 있다. 모델을 이용하여 함수비 5~30 %, 공기중 산소함량 5~50 %, 공기공급 유량 5~45 L/min, 온도 973~1273 K의 조건에서 합성가스의 성분을 예측한 결과 실제 실험 결과와 일치하는 것을 알 수 있다. 모델링 결과 양질의 합성가스를 생산하려면 원료의 회분함량이 적어야 하고 수소 함량이 높은 합성가스를 생산하려면 반응 온도가 높게 유지되고 원료의 함수비가 높아야 한다. 가스화장치의 온도를 높이면 합성가스의 성분 중 CO의 함량이 많아지고, CO의 함량이 많아지면 가스의 발열량이 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 CO의 농도가 높고 발열량이 높은 합성가스를 생산하기 위해서는 ER값은 작아야 한다.

기후변화로 인한 가뭄, 홍수, 녹조 등 이상기후 현상들이 본격화함에 따라 안정적인 수자원 관리의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 특히 급변하는 환경조건 속에서도 안정적인 수자원 확보를 가능하게 하는 지하수 자원의 적극적인 활용은 기후변화대응에 있어 핵심적인 요소이다. 지하수는 하천, 호수 연안지역 등 다양한 지표의 수문환경과 연결되어 천층지권의 수문생태적 특성을 결정하기 때문에, 지속가능한 수자원 활용을 위해서는 지하수와 지표수의 상호작용에 대한 통합적인 검토가 이루어져야 한다. 하지만 긴밀하게 연계된 특성에도 불구하고 지하수와 지표수에 대한 연구는 오랜기간 개별수문환경에 대해 독립적으로 수행되어왔다. 이러한 연구경향은 저류시간이 크게 다른 지하수와 지표수의 수문적 특성뿐 아니라 개별수문환경에서 나타나는 작용들을 통합적으로 다룰 수 있는 모델의 부제에도 기인한다. 최근 비약적인 연산능력의 향상과 함께 지하수-지표수 환경을 연계한 통합수문모델(Integrated Hydrology Model)의 개발 및 활용이 이루어짐에 따라 기후변화 및 수자원 활용에 따른 수문환경변화 대한 통합적인 연구 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 본 발표에서는 최근의 통합수문모델과 다중요소 반응성 운송 모형(Multicomponent Reactive Transport Model)의 연계를 통한 물질순환 연구의 최신 동향을 소개하고(농도-유량 상관관계, 지표수계의 화학적 풍화와 이산화탄소 저감, 녹조 등), 데이터 기반 모형을 통한 통합수문모델의 연산 효율 및 정확성 향상을 위한 방법에 대해 모색하고자 한다.

가뭄으로 인한 영향은 상당 기간 완만히 누적되어 나타나고, 해갈된 후에도 수년 동안 파급효과가 나타날 수 있으므로 모니터링 및 예·경보에 어려움이 있다. 가뭄 리질리언스 확보를 위해서는 지하수개발, 해수담수화, 식수전용 댐 확충 등 구조적 중장기 안정화 방안과 더불어 가뭄 피해를 예측하여 미리 물 자원을 확보하는 비구조적 대응 방안이 같이 이루어져야 한다. 대상지역은 물 부족을 겪고 있는 미급수 지역으로 환경부에서는 구조적 대책으로 샌드댐 설치가 예정되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 비구조적 가뭄 대응을 위하여 하천-취수원 연계 모니터링 및 분석을 수행하였다. 하천에 수위 계측기를 설치하여 시간별 수위를 상시 계측하였으며, 월 1회 유속을 측정하여 일별 유량(공급량)을 모니터링하였다. 이를 통해 도출된 일별 유출량 값은 장기유출모형인 SWAT의 매개변수 검·보정에 이용되었으며, 과거 10여 년간의 유출량(공급량)을 추정하였다. 또한, 취수원인 물탱크에 수위계를 설치하여 낮 동안 수위 변화량을 이용량을 가정하여 일별 수요량을 추정하였다. 최종적으로 일별 수요량-공급량 관계분석을 통해 가뭄에 대응할 수 있는 체계를 구축하였다.

This study aimed to understand the spatiotemporal variations in nitrogen content in the Gyeongan stream along the main stream and at the discharge points of the sub-basins, and to identify the origin of the nitrogen. Field surveys and laboratory analyses, including chemical compositions and isotope ratios of nitrate and boron, were performed from November 2021 to November 2022. Based on the flow duration curve (FDC) derived for the Gyeongan stream, the dry season (mid-December 2021 to mid-June 2022) and wet season (mid-June to early November 2022) were established. In the dry season, most samples had the highest total nitrogen(T-N) concentrations, specifically in January and February, and the concentrations continued to decrease until May and June. However, after the flood season from July to September, the uppermost subbasin points (Group 1: MS-0, OS-0, GS-0) where T-N concentrations continually decreased were separated from the main stream and lower sub-basin points (Group 2: MS-1~8, OS-1, GS-1) where concentrations increased. Along the main stream, the T-N concentration showed an increasing trend from the upper to the lower reaches. However, it was affected by those of the Osan-cheon and Gonjiamcheon, the tributaries that flow into the main stream, resulting in respective increases or decreases in T-N concentration in the main stream. The nitrate and boron isotope ratios indicated that the nitrogen in all samples originated from manure. Mechanisms for nitrogen inflow from manure-related sources to the stream were suggested, including (1) manure from livestock wastes and rainfall runoff, (2) inflow through the discharge of wastewater treatment plants, and (3) inflow through the groundwater discharge (baseflow) of accumulated nitrogen during agricultural activities. Ultimately, water quality management of the Gyeongan stream basin requires pollution source management at the sub-basin level, including its tributaries, from a regional context. To manage the pollution load effectively, it is necessary to separate the hydrological components of the stream discharge and establish a monitoring system to track the flow and water quality of each component.

This study was carried out to present the habitat distribution status and the habitat distribution prediction of Sophora koreensis, which is the Korean Endemic Plant included in the EN (Endangered) class of the IUCN Red List. The habit distribution survey of Sophora koreensis confirmed 19 habitats in Gangwon Province, including 13 habitats in Yanggu-gun, 3 habitats in Inje-gun, 2 habitats in Chuncheon-si, and 1 habitat in Hongcheon-gun. The northernmost habitat of Sophora koreensis in Korea was in Imdang-ri, Yanggu-gun; the easternmost habitat in Hangye-ri, Inje-gun; the westernmost habitat in Jinae-ri, Chuncheon-si; and the southernmost habitat in Sungdong-ri, Hongcheon-gun. The altitude of the Sophora koreensis habitats ranged from 169 to 711 m, with an average altitude of 375m. The area of the habitats was 8,000-734,000 m², with an average area of 202,789 m². Most habitats were the managed forests, such as thinning and pruning forests. The MaxEnt program analysis for the potential habitat of Sophora koreensis showed the AUC value of 0.9762. The predictive habitat distribution was Yanggu-gun, Inje-gun, Hwacheon-gun, and Chuncheon-si in Gangwon Province. The variables that influence the prediction of the habitat distribution were the annual precipitation, soil carbon content, and maximum monthly temperature. This study confirmed that habitats of Sophora koreensis were mostly found in the ridge area with rich light intensity. They can be used as basic data for the designation of protected areas of Sophora koreensis habitat.

This study is analysis of the utilization as a concrete fine aggregate on CGS, a by-product of Integrated coal gasification combined cycle(IGCC). That is, in KS F 2527 "Concrete aggregate," properties of 1~12times to CGS were evaluated, focusing on quality items corresponding to natural aggregate sand(NS) and melted slag aggregate sand(MS). As a result, the distribution of grain shape, safety and expansion were all satisfied with KS standards by physical properties, but the quality was unstable at 7~12times of water absorption ratio and absolute dry density. The particle size distribution was unstable due to asymmetry distribution of coarse particles, and particles were too thick for 7~12times. The passing ratio of 0.08mm sieve was also out of the KS standard at part factor of 7~12times, but chloride content, clay contents, coal and lignite were all satisfactory. Meanwhile, chemical composition was satisfactory except for $SO_3$ in 1~6times, and content and amount of harmful substances were all within the specified value except for F in 7~12times. As a result of SEM analysis, the surface quality and porosity were 7~12times more than 1~6times, and it was the quality was degraded. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the quality deviation by using separate measures in order to utilize it as concrete aggregate in the future, and if it is premixed with fine quality aggregate, it will contribute positively to solve aggregate supply shortage and utilize circulation resources.

In this study we quantified the long-term change in discharge against precipitation in a forested watershed and investigated how the growth of forest trees influences these changes. We found a proportional relationship between precipitation and discharge for each year, and discharge decreased gradually with time. Precipitation and discharge were highest in July and August, and the changes in precipitation, discharge, and runoff rate did not always coincide, given that high runoff rate was shown in August and September. The monthly coefficient of variation (CV) for discharge was larger than that for precipitation, and the deviation between precipitation and discharge increased gradually. From 2011 to 2017, the gradient of the trend line for the change of total discharge and direct runoff against precipitation decreased, whereas the gradient of the base flow increased in this same time period. A possible explanation is that the water holding capacity of soil deposits increased as the forest soil of the Palgong Mountain watershed developed and the increase of base flow rose with groundwater level together with that of outflow quantity. The coefficient of flood recession was lower in the period 2011 to 2017 than in 2003 to 2010; thus, the reduction of discharge was mitigated and remained steady as time progressed. We conclude from these results that the discharge of surface runoff decreased as tree growth and base flow increased; however, the water yield function of the forest increased gradually.

Due to the increasing greenhouse gas emissions, the global mean temperature has risen by 1.1℃ compared to pre-industrial levels, and significant changes are expected in functioning of water supply systems. In this study, we assessed impacts of climate change and instreamflow management on water supply reliability in the Geum River basin, Korea. We proposed univariate climate response functions, where mean precipitation and potential evaporation were coupled as an explanatory variable, to assess impacts of climate stress on multiple water supply reliabilities. To this end, natural streamflows were generated in the 19 sub-basins with the conceptual GR6J model. Then, the simulated streamflows were input into the Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) model. The dynamic optimization by WEAP allowed us to assess water supply reliability against the 2020 water demand projections. Results showed that when minimizing the water shortage of the entire river basin under the 1991-2020 climate, water supply reliability was lowest in the Bocheongcheon among the sub-basins. In a scenario where the priority of instreamflow maintenance is adjusted to be the same as municipal and industrial water use, water supply reliability in the Bocheongcheon, Chogang, and Nonsancheon sub-basins significantly decreased. The stress tests with 325 sets of climate perturbations showed that water supply reliability in the three sub-basins considerably decreased under all the climate stresses, while the sub-basins connected to large infrastructures did not change significantly. When using the 2021-2050 climate projections with the stress test results, water supply reliability in the Geum River basin was expected to generally improve, but if the priority of instreamflow maintenance is increased, water shortage is expected to worsen in geographically isolated sub-basins. Here, we suggest that the climate response function can be established by a single explanatory variable to assess climate change impacts of many sub-basin's performance simultaneously.

Recently due to march as the high oil price, It is necessary for Korea to grope a plan, which is to increase the energy efficiency of existing facilities as well as to develop overseas gas and oil resources. With this point, this work carried out to approach the high pressure LNG pipeline network of Inchon receiving terminal with Newton method as corrective flowrate. We found that the high pressure network mainly depends on FCVs(Flow Control Valves). The high pressure pump showed the maximum efficiency at the FCVs of 50% opening and could discharge LNG only above the LNG head of 1,500m from a system curve obtained. The operating cost of pumps was estimated from their operating points. We compared the operating cost under normal operation with the operating cost under maximum efficiency. Especially, we obtained the day savings of a year as wells as the hour savings of a day. From the results, the high pressure network win be able to reduce the operating cost of 138 million wons in a year. This means that a pump can reduce the operating cost of 9,823 thousands won. Consequently, this work could find the operating features of the pumps under the complicated high pressure LNG network and the savings effect of the pump operating cost. Also, the results will be able to macroscopically contribute the heightening of national energy competitiveness as well as to microscopically contribute the future effective operation of LNG receiving terminal.
